I have to say, after reading the other review on here about how "questionable" the staff motives are, I thought I had logged onto the wrong Inn. This Inn is just wonderful! The location is just outside the center of the city in a classy historic community. The rooms are clean and fresh and the staff is just as friendly as they can be. Our entire family is still talking about what a nice time they had there!

After some family health issues, our daughter finally had her wedding reception there and we could not have been more pleased. I say 'finally' because we had to delay a long-booked reception date as a result. The staff and owners were very accomodating in allowing us to move our reception date. I'm so sorry to hear about the issue the other person on here had, but like I said, we could not have had a more different experience. I can't help but think that there was more to it than has been shared on here, because with us they were prompt, kind and understanding and we will forever be grateful. And what a party!!

For the general traveler, this is a beautiful small and quaint inn with a lot of charm. The rooms are very nice and the food is really very good. The atmosphere for breakfast is great. They have one big table and a few small tables for those who don't like mingling that early in the morning. If you are interested in weddings, you might learn from my mistake... Don't get me wrong, they are good at putting on weddings and receptions. They do them all the time. However, it would have been nicer if we had believed they actually cared about us beyond the investment we'd made to their wallets. The staff really made this a small nightmare for my family. My (now) husband and I had booked our wedding reception at Morehead Inn about a year and a half in advance, only to find out a few months later that my sister was dying to get married there too (and she'd planned her wedding for 7 months before ours!). Needless to say, we'd prefer not to have the exact same wedding experience as my sister, so we drew straws (so to speak) and decided we'd move our wedding reception to another location. When my sister called Morehead Inn to book her wedding reception, she asked if we could have my deposit applied to her reception. They put her off, saying they'd have to check with the owner and took her money to "secure" her date (they made her feel like she had to pay a deposit or someone else would snag her date and that we'd get all the details of applying money from my wedding to hers figured out at a later date). This all made sense to us since this was really a small request and we were STILL OVER A YEAR AWAY from my reserved wedding date... plenty of time for them to rebook the Inn for another wedding (at no loss to them). However, despite multiple requests from my mother and father to have the almost $2,000 deposit for my wedding reception applied to something (anything) toward my sister's wedding (food, rooms, anything), they never accommodated the request. They kept putting my mother off saying "we'll have to talk to this guy or that guy before we can make a decision." Before you knew it, it was too late to have any leverage with them... my sister was locked in to her wedding date, invitations were printed, food decisions were made, half her money was down for everything and the Morehead had no reason to try to work with us. I'm not even sure why I'm sharing this, but the experience was stressful for me, for my sister and for my parents. What were we to do? We were really between a rock and a hard place and we wanted this to be a nice experience for my sister. Why in the world would a top tier establishment be so unhelpful and rude? Are they greedy? Do they believe that money grows on trees? I don't know the motive (I did hear their business was struggling, so perhaps they needed to take my money to make ends meet), but I don't trust the integrity of the group. This wasn't exactly the example of "southern hospitality" that they claim to exude. To their credit, the wedding reception turned out to be very nice, but because of our experience with the business, we will not be returning.

A group of us check in to this bed and breakfast every winter for the CIAA basketball tournament in Charlotte. We love it because there is no fighting for a parking space or long wait for elevators. All of the rooms are different and they are very spacious with a living area. The breakfast was excellent with quality meats, fresh fruit, eggs/homemade quiche and muffins. This is an older bed and breakfast but I would highly recommend it! It's not in the middle of downtown but still close enough to the Bobcats Arena and Southpartk Mall. My only complaint is when we forgot to check-out, we were charged $25 for keys... even though I told them I would mail them the next business day. There are no bellmen so expect to park your own car and carry your own bags. The rooms were a little chilly in the morning, but small space heaters are placed in each room. No plasma tv's here...just a small television in the siting area and not the bedroom. Most beds are queens and I only saw one king bed. My bathroom was small and had no spacetop for my toiletry bag. Spa robes were a nice touch. Management leaves at 11pm so don't expect someone to answer a call to the front desk. A free newspaper is dropped off every morning.

I booked a mother-daughter weekend for one night here this past month. I got lost trying to find the inn, called them to let them know we were coming and asked for directions from a fairly uninterested front desk.
Upon arrival, we found that there was a wedding taking place and a sign on the second floor asking guests to take the emergency exit back staircase and avoid the lobby due to a private event as they use the lobby as part of the events scheduled there. Well, the emergency exit door was locked at the bottom (wouldn't that be dangerous in a fire??) so we had to trek back up the steep stairs and use the lobby stairs - irrespective of any party. (There was no one around when we exited.)
Impressive in their attention to detail in the guestrooms. However, it is NOISY. You hear everything including the guest in the room next door using the toilet. The baseboards & and room corners were black with accumulated dirt. They just need to be ripped out and redone - or at least repainted.
The morning we were checking out, we asked for directions at the front desk and suggestions on shopping places. But the person at the front desk said they had no idea as they were from out of town!! They couldn't find a city map and ended up giving us the wrong one with no guidance whatsoever. I wouldn't expect that of a small, inn. I probably wouldn't stay here again which is a shame because the innkeepers seemed concerned about details - just not all the correct ones.
